Male and Female Fertility

Your health before conceiving can determine the outcome of your pregnancy and affect your health and that of your baby, so there is not better time to improve your diet and lifestyle.

Applying the functional medicine approach, I assess your diet and lifestyle to identify if any imbalances may have an impact on your health and fertility. My Pre-conceptual Consultation includes a thorough Diet and Lifestyle Analysis based on the information collected from your Personal Health & Lifestyle Questionnaire and Food Diary focusing on reproductive health.

During our initial session, I will explain how your diet and lifestyle may be affecting your fertility or impacting your general health at the time of conception and will suggest research-based actions to support your fertility and improve your nutritional status. Together, we will build a step-by-step Pre-conception Action Plan.

I also offer consultations for men and women trying to boost their fertility or address diagnosed/undiagnosed fertility issues including low egg reserve, PCOS, endometriosis, recurrent miscarriages, hormonal imbalances including adrenal function, irregular periods, thyroid dysregulation and autoimmunity as well as sperm quality/count and motility issues.

I work alongside fertility consultants and alternative medicine medical practitioners including acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist Naava Carman at the Fertility Support Company to support natural conception and assisted reproduction protocols (IVF, ICS, IUI). I have a wide network of practitioners that can help address areas beyond my expertise like endocrinologists, psychotherapists, hypnotherapists, etc.

I use a wide range of tests including hormone mapping, genetics, digestion and functional testing to assess your health and fertility as well as identify the reasons for low fertility to miscarriages.

My average female client is in aged 35-45 and has been trying to conceive for 1-3 years. They may have had miscarries and, sometimes, several rounds of IVF. My average male client is 42-55 and has a below average sperm profile, including high-DNA fragmentation.

I offer a FREE 15-minute consultation to discuss whether Nutritional Therapy can help you and to introduce my personalised functional medicine approach.

I recommend a 3 month package to address fertility issues as that is the length of time it takes to improve egg and sperm quality as well as balancing your hormones. It is also an adequate amount of time to address any gut, digestive, metabolic or hormonal issues.

The fees for a 3 month package are worked on the basis of a 1.5 hour initial consultation followed by 6 bi-weekly 45 minute consultations. 

I love working with couples to maximise their chances of a healthy pregnancy. Making a healthy baby is a 50:50 effort and we have seen a large increase in male infertility factor in recent years as well as decreasing sperm levels and quality which can affect pregnancy rate and also miscarriage risk.

The couples package includes a 2.5hrs initial session plus 8 bi-weekly 1hr sessions over 3-4 months.
